Seeing that Cao Lei was about to leave in a hurry, the second hall master spoke up again and stopped him.
"What's the matter, second brother?" Cao Lei paused and looked a little unhappy.
"Boss, what if they left these traces intentionally to mislead us?"
"Then let's bring more people! Even if there are traps, don't be afraid!" the third hall master said impatiently.
"No, the jungle is the most dangerous place. If someone attacks you secretly, who can guarantee that everything will be safe?"
The third hall master scratched his head, and it made sense.
"Then tell me, what should we do now? Should we stand still in case the other party runs away again?"
The second hall master pondered for a while and said to Cao Lei: "Boss, why don't I go explore the way first. You are the master of Jiulong Hall, and you must not take risks easily."
Jiulong Hall has developed to this day. Cao Lei is old and frail and does not have much time left. After Cao Huowang's death, the second hall master was his carefully cultivated successor.
"Let others go," so he looked at the second hall master with concern in his voice, "You have to stay."
But the second hall leader shook his head and said seriously: "Boss, the other party is acting so treacherously and thoughtfully. I don't worry about the others going there. I will bring more people. As soon as I confirm that it is safe, I will send a message back to you immediately."
You."
Seeing that he was determined to leave and the matter was urgent, Cao Lei didn't want to delay any more, so he had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, then be careful."
The second hall leader clasped his fists and resigned, went to the village to order troops and set off quickly.
Cao Lei came to the gate full of expectations, looked at the rain falling in the sky, and clenched his fists vigorously.
As long as that batch of goods is found, Ling Shu will be doomed.
Evening will arrive in the blink of an eye.
"Why is there no news yet? Have you sent someone out?"
Cao Lei sat on the chair and looked anxiously at the door, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
The discovery place is not far from Zhengxing Mansion, and a quick round trip is enough.
The third hall master said quickly: "We have sent several groups of people. If there is any news, it will be sent back immediately."
Even so, the third hall master did not dare to conclude.
The signs that the rain will not stop are getting more and more violent, and the temperature in the hall is getting colder and colder.
A bolt of lightning split the night, and Cao Lei's wrinkled face was illuminated by a pale light.
Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps was heard amidst the pouring rain.
"Hall Master!"
He raised his head and looked over, but was startled to take a breath by the person dressed in blood.
The subordinate was helped to the front and fell to the ground before he could speak.
"Hall Master," he said panting with panic on his face, "hurry...go and save people, the second hall master has fallen into the enemy's trick and is trapped in the mountain, his life hanging by a thread!" p>
Boom!
Thunder shook the entire Zhengxing Mansion.
Cao Lei was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Prepare your horse! Hurry!"
In less than half a stick of incense time, a large number of people rushed out of Liujiazhuang.
Cao Lei is old, and the heavy raincoat on his body makes his vision blurry.
"Boss, don't be reckless! Our men and horses are all ambushing on other roads, and there are still many people who have not been mobilized...Boss!" The third hall leader persuaded while riding his horse to follow.
"Rescuing people is like putting out fire, take everyone at home and follow me!"
Cao Lei turned a deaf ear and raised his riding whip to hit the horse's back hard.
With no choice, the third hall master had no choice but to shut up and stop talking.
Thunder was like a giant python passing over the bamboo garden, roaring and striking at the city wall.
Seeing the hundreds of people from Jiulong Hall pouring out, the soldiers on the city were filled with surprise.
"What's going on in Kowloon Hall most of the night?"
"I can't see clearly. Do you want to report it to the general?"
"You keep an eye on it first, I'll go over and report to the general..."
The horse galloped straight into the dense forest.
Cao Lei was panting and his whole body was soaked by the rain. He ran at full speed for two hours and finally arrived.
Before everyone went in, they saw two people dressing wounds outside the dense forest.
Seeing Cao Lei, one of them immediately shouted: "Hall Master!"
"Control!" Cao Lei tightened the reins of the horse and asked sternly: "What's going on? Why are you here?"
These two are the confidants of the Second Hall Master and should be protected by the Second Hall Master.
The man cried loudly and said miserably: "The second hall master is afraid that the hall master will take risks, so he specially asked us to wait here for you. He went to lure the enemy away!"
"What did you say?!" Cao Lei was furious, "Which direction did he go to?"
Another person said hurriedly: "The second hall master split up when he entered the dense forest. We don't know where he is, but it's generally in those two directions."
He raised his hand and pointed to the mountains in the distance, where two narrow roads ran in opposite directions.
"Third brother, you lead dozens of people to the left, and the others will follow me to the right!" Cao Lei gave the order immediately before he had time to think about it.
The sound of horse hooves made the ground noisy and dense, and Cao Lei plunged into the mountain road on the right.
After marching for about a quarter of an hour, I found several gang members who had died on the side of the road.
Cao Lei's face changed drastically, and he endured his grief and continued to move forward.
"Master!" The subordinate felt that searching like this was like looking for a needle in a haystack. "This place is too big and the sky is so dark. It's hard to find."
"It's hard to find, but you have to find it. Separate everything. No matter what, I want to find the second child!"
Cao Lei looked ferocious and gave orders without hesitation.
Everyone was frightened and quickly dispersed in all directions.
Cao Lei took the remaining dozen people and continued to pursue along the dense forest mountain road.
"Second brother!" Cao Lei shouted loudly.
"Second Hall Master!"
"Is anyone alive!!"
The heavy rain washed over everyone, and a chill filled their hearts.
Along the way, Cao Lei saw a few familiar faces, all of whom were loyal old men in the hall.
He really couldn't bear it, so he stopped and ordered: "Don't let the brothers explode the corpses in the wilderness. Remember the location clearly and transport them all back tomorrow morning."
As he said that, he followed the direction where the body fell to the ground and entered a small mountain col.
Who would have thought that when we entered just now, we suddenly heard several blasts of wind, as if the rain curtain was about to be torn apart.
"Watch out!"
"There's a sneak attack with hidden arrows, ah!"
After all, Cao Lei is an old man who has been around for many years. He reacts very quickly and throws his body quickly towards the horse.
However, the few people in front were not so lucky. They were pierced by long arrows in an instant and fell down screaming.
"Everyone, be careful!"
Cao Lei dismounted and took advantage of the chaos to hide in the forest next to him.
At this time, killers from all directions suddenly appeared and rushed towards them without hesitation.
Cao Lei was protected by everyone behind him. He fought and retreated, holding a heavy knife in his hand to resist.
Green shadows on both sides bared their teeth and claws, and the muddy ground was wet and slippery.
Cao Lei knew that he had been tricked and immediately raised his knife to find a way out.
Several members of the gang bumped into the killer and were surrounded and killed.
Cao Lei's old body suddenly stood up like a coiled dragon, turning over and jumping into the killer.
The sword is so powerful that it sweeps through thousands of troops and cuts through the pursuers. It has such a power that no one can defeat it.
"Ah!"
The killer drew his sword to fight. Unexpectedly, Cao Lei was so powerful that he cut off his sword and cut into the center.
Without waiting for the person to react, Cao Lei withdrew the knife again, swept it back like a dragon with its tail, and knocked the two of them over again.
A voice suddenly came over.
"Boss?"
It’s the second hall master!
Cao Lei looked happy and immediately turned around to look.
Then they saw the second hall master sitting next to a big stone in the dark, covered in blood, holding a dagger in his hand, looking panicked.
"Boy, are you okay?"
Cao Lei felt relieved and quickly stepped forward to help him up.
"Where are you injured? You..."
Before he finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly.
"Boss, don't worry. None of this blood is mine." The second hall master said with a sinister smile on his face.
When the remaining three or four people saw this scene, their pupils shrank and they roared.
"Hall Master!!"
